It is often misunderstood that being a leader (learned skills and qualified to do a job in a prescribed framework) i.e management, operation etc by an organisation is the same as being a Thought Leader (pathfinder, innovative and visionary) to-go-to ‘think-tank’ and expert of a particular subject or field. This misconception is normal and understandably so confusing.

A leader in an organisation is often selfmade, 90% of people can be learned through leadership skills training Whereas, Thought Leaders are often ‘made’ and sought by others. Especially by professionals in the mass communication industry like PR Consultants and Journalists seeking efficacy commentary on a particular subject that requires technical or peer reviewed evidence based knowledge to gain deeper understanding of the subject matter Both are complementary adds value to your existing core leadership skills, increases your trust-worthiness and authenticates the specific area of your expertise around the narrative."
